Can AFC issue internal contracts?

[nOmnomnOm]

11. Any freelancer or BHG individual or group may only collect on a bounty which that person or group has issued, sponsored or funded (fully or partly) so long as it is open to others to collect. All non-generic factions may sponsor internal bounties that are only open to members of the player or NPC faction.

So if a dude doesn't pay up lets say for a bet that AFC does with them in some race then it would make sense biker style to go after the dude and beat him up till he pays up.

Thing is.... are AFC allowed to? We are not using Freelancer IDs anymore so I would say we are not generic. I know there is some rule somewhere that freelancers cant in game hire other freelancers on a bounty... but how about in this case... since we are not Freelancer ID but only IFF (nerd)....
